600K+ Systems Tested and 1,200+ CPU Models - Updated Daily!

PassMark Software has delved into the thousands of benchmark results that PerformanceTest users have posted to its web site and produced five Intel vs AMD CPU charts to help compare the relative speeds of the different processors. Included in this list are CPUs designed for servers and workstations (Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron processors), desktop CPUs (Intel Core2 Quad, Intel Core i7, Intel Core2 Extreme and AMD Phenom II processors), in addition to mobile CPUs.

Benchmark Test Description

CPU Benchmark results (“Baselines”) were gathered from users’ submissions
to the PassMark web site as well as from internal testing. PerformanceTest conducts eight different tests and then averages the results together
to determine the CPU Mark rating for a system.

To ensure that the full CPU power of a PC system is realized, PerformanceTest runs each CPU test on all available CPUs. Specifically, PerformanceTest
runs one simultaneous CPU test for every logical CPU (Hyper-threaded); physical CPU core (dual core) or physical CPU package (multiple CPU chips). So
hypothetically if you have a PC that has two CPUs, each with dual cores that use hyper-threading, then PerformanceTest will run eight simultaneous
tests.... [ Read the entire article]

Notes Related to the Graphs

Rarely is a graph completely accurate in what it is representing. There are many factors that can skew the results and make a graph misleading. As such
it is necessary to have some background understanding of the data being presented.

In the case of these CPU Benchmarks there are several factors to consider, such as different OS’s the CPU’s are running on and the possibility
that users have overclocked their systems.... [ Learn more about the graphs]

How to Add Your Own CPU

Download and install PerformanceTest.
Start PerformanceTest then from the menu bar select "Tests->Run All Tests".
Once the tests have run select "Baseline->Upload Baseline to Web".

Your results will not appear in the graphs immediately as the graphs are only updated once per day.
Additionally, only CPUs of which there are at least two samples are included in the graphs.

Looking for PerformanceTest V7 Results?

We have stopped providing charts for PerformanceTest V7 as of October 10, 2012. Users can continue to use
V7 of the software and submit results, but the charts will no longer be updated with their results.
For users who want to refer back to V7 results, we have provided the following list. This list is for
reference only and users are encouraged to visit the new charts which are generated with PeformanceTest V8
test submissions.
